186923.0114Madrid: Establecimiento Tipográfico de Tomás Rey y Compañía 1869. 1ª ed. Contemporary quarter leather with raised bands. 16x25.5. Illustrations by Édouard Riou Obras and Alphonse de Neuville engraved by Hildebrand. The binding is simple but attractive the spine slightly rubbed but entirely sound. The boards are rather more rubbed and the corners are bruised with one missing. The edition is on low quality paper and appears to have been well read. We have corrected the dog earing in the lower corner of the first eight leaves but this has weakened some of the corners. There are quite accomplished pencil sketches on three pages of text and the back end paper. One of the two maps has two ink lines drawn across the Atlantic; two tears across pp. 227/228 and 229/230 have been rather crudely repaired but the pages are complete. Both free endpapers are missing. We have seen photographs of a copy that as well as the engraved title page and the typographic title page both present in our copy conserved what appears to be the original printed wrapper; this is not present in this copy. No separate title page appears to have been issued for the second part. Otherwise there are occasional minor marks and stains light foxing towards the end of the book. We have attached a large numer of photos to give the clearest possible idea of the actual condition of the copy. Given that the book suffers from the dreaded trinity of bad paper a popular novel and attractive to children this is probably about as good a copy as one is likely to find.
